Ground Clearance

Hey Guys,

I'm lowering my car next week, and I measure the lowest parts of the exhaust at 3.5" off the ground. Which means after lowering it will be at about 2.3". Do I need to worry about hitting the exhaust? That doesn't seem like much clearance to me?

Thanks

Yes. It's going to hit for sure. I love the looks but it's not worth it to me.

Does anybody have a lowered car that can tell me if they have issues with the exhaust?

Im lowering carf with strano springs and also looking at SLP new header style that offers better ground clearance. If you have SLP old style you might have issues

You will learn to avoid every speed bump and the particular automatic car washes that rip your headers off.
